Publisher's summary

After receiving an astonishing number of male requests for a male relationship book, multiaward-winning certified relationship coach and author Tamara Neal penned His & Hers Relationship Do's & Don'ts.

I wrote His & Hers Relationship Do's & Don'ts to expose the most common, silently abusive relationships and to teach both men and women how to avoid them. Using all too real scenarios, I call out obvious red-flag behaviors such as addiction, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and adultery, but I also highlight lesser known signs of relationship trouble, including indications that a potential partner is interested only in a one-night stand. Throughout the book, I remind the listener there's only one person he or she can and should change: himself or herself.

His & Hers Relationship Do's & Don'ts skips the jargon and takes a direct approach. Each chapter is divided into three sections that include “Scenario of a Toxic Relationship”, which is filled with all the trauma and drama, some parts of which are hard to swallow - but a reality check always is. Then there's the “Let's Talk” section, which is like a heart-to-heart chat about the scenario. I skip the jargon and the traditional language of psychology here, preferring a personal approach, encouraging the listener to just recognize and reclaim a lot of what he or she might already know: to heal, we must feel. Listeners can find the self-confidence they seek only within themselves. Many victims of abusive relationships suffer in silence because they are too ashamed to tell anyone.

The conclusion is a review of the scenario from the chapter, identifying its telltale traits and discussing the red flags in the abusive person the victim missed when they first met. The listener will learn how to release anger, repair the damage from the toxic relationship, and avoid repeating the pattern. Finally, a “Today I will release and let go of...” moment has been provided at the end of each chapter.

Originally requested by her male clients, His & Hers: Relationship Do's & Don'ts by Tamara Rene' Neal is a breakthrough guide for both men and women to spotting unhealthy relationship behaviors. I appreciated the author's candor as she walks the reader through the most common abusive relationships and how to heal from them. This book addresses these issues, empowering the reader and enlightening them. I was duly impressed with the author's insight. This book is truly helpful, written in a pleasant, down to earth style that warmly draws in the reader, inspiring trust and internal forgiveness for being dumb enough to fall into the mind trap of a psycho. If I had started my adult life with this book, it would have prevented a lot of grief and self-doubt. The narrator, Adrienne White, is very gifted; pulling the reader into each story and engaging them with her charming voice. I highly recommend this book to anyone embarking on the journey to find love. This book is a must for the naïve, especially young adults.

Neal addresses a host of issues and offers a no-holds-barred look at warning signs and a pattern of red flags with real scenarios, assisting those who gravitate towards abusive partnerships in breaking the cycle. The tone is concise and conversational, with frank dialogue that personalizes Neal's message in the necessary "polite but firm" tone required when compelling individuals to change course and avoid future connections that revolve around abuse, addiction, infidelity, and destruction. His & Hers by Tamara Rene' Neal was like a breath of fresh air in a noxious relationship environment. In the age of hook-ups facilitated by dating apps, and a generational divide that underscores the need for balance between old world courtliness in a new world of casual encounters, Neal covers the pitfalls of "settling" for, as she brilliantly describes, a "narcissist in shining armor." If you want a solid, healthy relationship, she makes it clear that the foundation has to be established - first and foremost - by you. From there, the building begins with the careful creation of a life that has all the right structure for a relationship that is strong, steady, and safe. I loved this book and the positive message that will absolutely resonate with both men and women and recommend it to everyone who is looking to be a good companion to a partner who is also worthy of them.
